String snapped on fitting


Silky999

Recommended Posts

I was fitting a new set of Ernie Ball .50 - 105 Slinky cobalt flat wounds to my Warwick when the G string failed as I was tensioning it to tune. It scared the bejesus out of my as it’s my first string failure. I thought it had slipped off the peg but It had snapped about 2 cm from the start of the silk at the tuner end. I know there were issues with EB strings a few years ago but has anyone else had anything similar recently?

I contact EB UK and a chap called Danny is going to send out a new set for me without my asking and not even a quibble so excellent customer service from the company. This may just be an isolated manufacturing fault given the millions of strings EB must produce in a year and it hasn’t put me off the cobalt flats as they sound so near a round wound for a flat.
